My favorite type of play has always been green-red beatdown, but this is just insane. I came up with this one and the results have been amazing. Its main deal is flashback. Below I’ll show you my old green-red beatdown deck and how this one differs entirely from it but is ten times more effective. This deck has won my local tournament twice and I’m ready to take it up to a higher level soon.

This deck actually did pretty good, but it had one problem- lack of cards. Since everything was so cheap I got rid of everything really fast and it resulted in going by top decks. This, unfortunately, wasn’t a good plan because he’d be kicking my butt and I would draw a land, or a bird, or and elf, or something even more useless. Fortunately I caught on to it’s problem and thought about green or red cards for card advantage. Sadly, there isn’t many, so the only thing I could think of would be Browbeat

it and… let’s not get into that just yet. This deck would make for some nice beatdown, but it would occur late (and I do mean LATE) game, and often times this would result in my defeat early. So what did I do to change this? I added some defense to the mix, using Phantom Centaur

and Ancestral Slate, then unleash massive waves of attacks. Below it’s broken down even more to show you the pace of the game.

Opening hand:Be careful, this deck requires a lot of mana to function. Beware of the fact that if you don’t get at least 5 lands you’re most likely toast. Also make sure the hand is quick enough to defend a while before you bust out some good stuff. Basically, don’t take a hand that has four lands, a Mirari

You should establish this within the first three turns or so. This allows you use your flashback a little more as the game progresses. The earlier you get this baby out there the faster you can go in for the kill.Catalyst Stone

This is the best defensive card in the deck, and can be very important at times. The main reason he’s so good for defense is the fact that he can block three times. Use this guy for some serious protection.

4Artifact4, T, discard your hand: Draw a card for each creature you control.

This card is sick. Yeah, I for one think it’s extremely broken for the simple fact that you can use its ability with no cards in your hand. This helps a lot; I once drew 12 cards with it and discarded them all to a Wild Mongrel

on the table and to draw 3 cards for only 1RR, or he can take five and that’s all the better.

Late game:Once you have control of the board, you can start attacking. I usually go for attacking in massive waves of tokens and mongrels and such, leaving a few behind to protect me if needed. Try to burn his creatures and then attack for some clean damage.

Good luck, I hope you can do well with it!
